ABSTRACT Since 1981, the Swedish Coast Guard has been conducting daily oil spill surveillance patrols using small aircraft equipped with a remote sensing system. During this time, the use of the aircraft has widened to include a number of Coast Guard tasks such as fishery protection and sea traffic surveillance. This has necessitated the acquisition of aircraft with greater endurance and more loading capability. Two CASA 212 aircraft were delivered in 1986. In response to requests from Coast Guard operators, the remote sensing system has at the same time gone through a major revision. One of the main ideas in the third generation system is to give the operator computer aid in producing charts and reports for documenting routine missions, violations, and accidents. When necessary, as in the case of an accident, the charts can be immediately telecopied from the computer in the aircraft to a Coast Guard Command Center to ensure a quick and proper response.

ABSTRACT The U.S. Coast Guard is developing an airborne, real-time, all-weather, day/night remote-sensing system that will detect oil pollutants and identify violating vessels. The system, designated “Aireye,” will be installed on six of the 41 new Falcon 20G jet aircraft, (military designation HU-25A) purchased by the Coast Guard to replace the aging HU-16E Grumman Albatross as its medium-range surveillance aircraft. The sensor system will include a side looking airborne radar, two-channel infrared/ultraviolet line scanner, aerial reconnaissance camera, airborne data annotation system, and a control, display and record console. To identify polluting vessels at night, an active gated television (AGTV) also is being developed for inclusion in the Aireye system. The AGTV will use a one-watt, pulsed, lead vapor laser illuminator and will be capable of recording vessel names at night from a slant range of 700 meters. In addition to an active and passive mode, the AGTV will be capable of both computer and manual target acquisition and tracking. Each of the sensors will produce annotated, hard copy imagery suitable for prosecution of polluting vessels.

ABSTRACT A multisensor system was integrated into the P.166-DL3 Piaggio aircraft that was selected for maritime surveillance by the Italian Merchant Marine Ministry for the Coast Guard. Four aircraft equipped with such a system are now operational in Italy. Sensors include bispectral scanner, FLIR system, aerial camera system, surveillance system operator console, and related facilities. In addition, four more aircraft have been purchased, and will be in operational use in the very near future with an improved sensor system. Current Coast Guard plans are to have 12 aircraft operational for maritime surveillance; further development will include in-flight data transmission and ground data processing capabilities.

ABSTRACT As part of the long-term agreement between the Swedish Coast Guard and the Swedish Space Corporation concerning further development of the airborne remote sensing system for maritime surveillance, a scanning microwave radiometer for oil spill thickness measurements has been integrated into the system. An overview of the capabilities of the system is given. Registrations of one experimental oil spill using all the different sensors are presented, with emphasis on the microwave radiometer registrations. Further experiments will be carried out, notably in conjunction with synthetic aperture radar registrations from the space shuttle.

Safety Features

A widely used third-generation lentiviral packaging system produces virus with enhanced biosafety by eliminating HIV accessory genes and separating packaging elements into three different plasmids. However, for certain vectors such as pLKO.1, third-generation safety features reduce lentiviral titers due to the lack of the accessory gene tat. Here we present a way to improve virus production and target gene knockdown with a modified pLKO.1 CMV pLKO.1C) vector and optimized packaging construct ratios. Replacing the pLKO.1 RSV promoter with the Cytomegalovirus promoter yielded an average of threefold higher titer than standard pLKO.1 packaged using the third-generation system, while optimizing the packaging vector ratios further increased titer and yielded an average of tenfold higher titer than pLKO.1 packaged with the second-generation system.

ABSTRACT An experimental airborne laser oil spill remote sensing system has been developed. Operating from a U.S. Coast Guard Search and Rescue Aircraft, the system is expected to have the capability of remote detection, coarse oil classification (heavy, medium and light weight) and under certain conditions quantification of oil spills in the marine environment. The system concept is based on a recent investigation at TSC of laser stimulated oil fluorescence as a technique for the remote sensing of oil spills, including laboratory and field measurements. The development and laboratory tests results of the experimental system are described.
